DRIFT.

Hsve you ever listened, on hot midsum.
mer .iay, to the strange concert Of varied
sounds tha, crowd the air l don't mean
the definite, particular sounds that singly
strike the ear but rather that vague inces-
SAINT, commingling Of thousand notes, that
falls upon the sense like one vast chord,
deep mum or murmur, q cloud OF
sound, as IL were. Ordinarily 1t does not
enter the consciousness Our hearing has
become hardened to II, ~ Of the ticking OF
the clock, makes no note of II bexause Of its
constancy. 1t takes an effort Of attention to
notice It In the city this cloud Of sound 10
more or lees discordant, because mainly made
up of human voices, oi at least OF notes struck
by human invention. But out in the country,
In the depths of the forest or on some lofty
hill, where natures voice alone Is heard, the
sound IL perfect and lovely harmony.

A HORRIBLE STORY
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER SUICIDE.
The sicksning Sight Discovered in a New
York Tenement House The Women
Deliberately Die in Each
Others Arms.

New YORK, Aug. "a disgusting stencil
has filled tenement No. p Chsrles-st.,- for
the past few days, aud yesterday ii grew so
bad that Mrs. Franklin, the housekeeper
notified the police. She believed the smell
came from decsylng pail of garbage IN the
rooms on the second floor, occupied by Mrs.
Melvina r. w. Payne and her daughter.
Anna NJ. Monday last the women had been
seen closing up the shutters, and il was
thought they bad gone into the country.
The report 10 the police brought no re-
spOnSe. and this forenoon the stencil had
grown SO vile that Hamman. the owner of
the house. decided 10 make an investigs-
ton. He get out on the fire escape and
peered through the shutters into the
women's room. He saw both women ly-
ing dead Oh the bed, which was bespattered
with blood. Maggots crawled over the
sheets. Horror stricked, the man rushed
for the police. A locksmith was procured
who burst open the door. Disinfect-
Investigation was made. The women
have been lying dead since Monday. A
razor and an empty laudsnum bottle were
on a chair beside the bed. Half stupefed
by poison, probably, and insensible to pain,
the women cut the srseries al their elbows
and ankles and bled to death, locked in
each others arms. Death unloosened their
grip, and they lay side by side facing each
other when found.
Letters found on the table beside the bed
showed they had carefully considered the
plan of suicide and decided To die together.
These letters told what to do with the bodies
and stated that they were insane and didn't
want TO go TO the asylum.

Something Real to Build IL Boon On.

When a small boy blows a bladder full
OF air, he has something that looks strong
and able 10 hold its own; yet nobody
need tell him that the bladder is after all
an unsubstantia! thing, the nature Of
which is not changed by the wind he has
put in it. All the other ANAL boys know
as much about it, and not one Of them
could be imposed upon to take the bladder
for a stone. ar (.
Take ysluos and fill them with wind,
and you have no difficulty to deceive grave,
long'headed business men who ought easi.
ly to know the difference between q dollar
and a hsIf dollar with fifty cents worth OF
wind in it. Men accustomed to the close-
cutting Of the market, men who have
gained aome wealth by hard grubbing and
close economies, have been known to &C.
ccpt an inflated ten cent piece for a dollar
Of value and be glad to make the deal,
In real estate, which is often 80 slug.
gish that the best values 50 long unspprc.
ciated, the blown bladder ia most essily
palmed oil on handkerchief business men.
Only three elements are necessary to com.
plete success; some ground, which NAV
DO OF lees value than average farm land,
wind in abundance aud printers ink sd
labitum. Given thess and the rise must
come. We hsys then the boom; the
more wind and the moro ink the more
boom. 1t Is not necessary to increase the
extent or tho actual value OF tho ground.
The boom is on, and men will thank YOU
for q chance 10 come in and buy the
wind.
Ncwspape! readers need not be told
where these real estate values are being
blown up on tho bladder principle in
these times. Careful people sre utterinc
warnings, and people who ought to
DO careful are not needing the warnings.
1t has been go in respect oil NIL other inlIs-.
ted values in oil other ttmes. Everybody
knows the collapse must como, and no.
body expecta to be caught in tho crash
they are oil going to pull! out before the
wind goes out. Some will DO able to do
this, and some others wont; for who is 30
nice in his judgment that he knows Jus.
when the bladder is iull to tho burdting
point2
There is, Of course, a real estate moyo.
which ia based on the nstural appreciation
Of actual values. There is also euch a
thing as the creation Of new values. For
example, as the New York Tribune says,
"a new aupply Of the best and cheapest
fuel for manufacturing purposes does
give a new value to real estate within its
influence" This is what has happened
in Wheeling, which is amply supplied
with the beat Of NIL fuels, and 10 80 aitusted
that her supply Of natural gas can be in.
creased to keep pace with all demands.
Here is a solid basis for a boom; yet

The Election OF IL Senator.

C0l. DAM u. LuCaB ueeb NIB pen, ab III
dooa his eloquent voice, with grace and
skill; and when he 10 not convincing he Is
at least plausible. In his letter to Messrs.
Chew, Beckwith and other mcmberu OF
ths Legislature be aygues,fervea!ly against
the right Of the Legislature in called ses-
sion to elect u Senator; he goes 60 far as
10 advance tho idea that the oath Of each
member folbids him TO join In an attempt
to elect.
Col. Lucas discovers that We have in
this State two kinds Of Legislature: the
ordinary, ~fully.endowod Legislature, and
the extraordinary, limited Legislature
called for specific purposes, which I'VE
may call tho Executive Session OF the
Limited Legislature" This single.bar.
relied Legislature Col. Lucas has discovered
or invented to serve q present purpose.
There vas need OF a body impotent to
perform one Of the principal functions oil
a State Legislature, and in his Executive
Session OF tho Limited Legislature no ie
confident that he has it to perfection.
It Is not neCessary 10 follow the argu.
ment in detail. II Col. Lucas Is right on
this point he is right on the one real ques.
ton at issue, the validity Of an election
had ut this extra sesnion. But since that
question Ia to be determined by the Sen.
ate OF the United States as the court O.
last resort, no harm can possibly come
from m election at this time by the Leg
islature in extra session. r.
II the Senator go elected be not lawfully
chosen, 1t Is to BIO assumed that he will
not be seated. In that event 1t cannot be
said that members who may have con.
tributed to the election have violated the
oath Of office. The Legislature ought 10
consttue in its own favor any doubt that
may exist, for that is also to construe the
doubt in favor of the people, who do not
expect tho Legislature to sbdicate my Of
its functions in favor OF the Governor. II
the Senate, OF the United States shall hold
invalid such election, the appointment Of
Col. Lucas will in no way be p~rejudiced.
1t will only have been msdo to appear
that the appointee OF the Governor is not
the choice Of the Legislature, which is
already known to be true.
With great respect for the solid ability
and great ingenuity Of Col. Lucas, we
shall prefer the opinion OF the United
S.s!ea Senate US expressed in it's vote when
the time comes. In the reports OF election
cases which have been before that body
We find M well reasoned, as. ingenious
and IS plausible arguments, having the
additional weight off majority report Of
the Senate's own committee, c~oncluaiYely
refuted by tho homely argument Of q ma.
jority vote. 80
It is the majority Of the United States
Senate that dscldos, and the Legislature
may well leave the question to that arbi-
trst!on. The matter is Of sufficient inter
est TO invite tho decision Of the highest
tribunal having Jurisdiction. Great causes
are not suffered to be determined finally
by 3 Justice Of the Peace or even by 8 Cir
cult Court.
